If you can remember the 5 1/4", how about the 8" floppy? Saw these on old Wang PCs in the late 80's. Not sure if they were called "floppy", but they pre-dated the 5 1/4" and were otherwise very similar. The 5 1/4" was probably viewed as a big step forward.

I believe the 8" discs is where the term "floppy disc" originated, as they were literally floppy, not like the modern diskette with it's hard case.
